DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: DocBook tables and FOP

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Petri Wessman <orava@akumiitti.fi> was heard to say:
| Hello all, does anyone have a solution/workaround for DocBook tables
| not rendering at all when using a DocBook XML -> Walsh's XSL
| FO stylesheets -> FOP chain? It's probably related to the fact that
| FOP currently wants you to specify widths for tables, but I'm not
| sure.

There are extensions in the stylesheets for this. If you're using
Saxon or Xalan, turn on use.extensions and tablecolumns.extension.  If
you aren't using a processor that supports those extensions, simply
specify widths for all the columns in your document (using colspec).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
